@techsinger @LadyScorpio Even now, when it’s just the way of life, finding a book I want to read in the most recent #WaPo books section and in most cases being able to get it and start reading it right now gives me a dopamine rush. It really wasn’t that long ago that I considered myself lucky if I got access to a book several months after its release, and then there was the issue of keeping up with the individual cassettes (I was terrible at it) and the individual Braille volumes. Put your hands together for technology!

Editorial cartoonist who quit Washington Post wins Pulitzer

A longtime editorial cartoonist for The Washington Post who quit in protest after editors killed her sketch of the newspaper’s owner and other media executives bowing before President Donald Trump, has won the Pulitzer Prize for illustrated reporting and commentary. Ann Telnaes won the prize Monday for “delivering piercing commentary on powerful people and institutions with deftness, creativity – and a fearlessness that led to her departure from the news organization after 17 years.” She said when she quit in January that she had never before had a sketch killed because of the point of view inherent in the cartoon’s commentary. She called that dangerous for a free press.

Texas lawmakers moving to greatly increase control of state universities

Opponents say a bill to end “ideological bias” in higher education would amount to a damaging takeover of public institutions, with nationwide implications.

Meanwhile, #WaPo is bragging that they got two #Pulitzer prizes, one for "Breaking News" (ahem), and one for the work of Ann Telnaes, whom they essentially shoved out last year due to #bezos
